AST_VDadapt.pl is eating up all my memory

[bobbymc]

i have no clue why a different linux distro would cause this but here is what happended.

i installed the latest trunk and not only install it on gentoo since i did the switch from debian a few month ago. everything works perfect other then AST_VDadapt.pl which is eating up all my memory little by little until the system starts to swap. this does not happen on debian. im at a loss, can anyone possibly point me out why this happens or give me some ideas how i can track this memory leak if it even exists?

thanks for all the help everybody

Check the version of perl you are using, and possibly recompile it.

its the latest stable version.. is there a specific version of perl we need to use?

[mflorell]

I have no idea, it's been at least 8 years since a version of perl was a problem for any of my installs, but then again I've only used Slackware or OpenSuSE since then. It might be as simple as downloading the source and compiling from scratch on your system.

Newest version of perl doesn't like how the variables are not unset and builds up a huge memory leak.. Gonna rewrite is and use strict
